2010 MBC Drama Awards

It’s time for each broadcast station to put on their end-of-year awards. The MBC Drama Awards are first of the bunch, and man, Kim Nam-joo must be peeved. She finally gets her Daesang — and it goes shared, with Han Hyo-joo. Yeesh. This is almost as bad as when MBC split the Daesang between Kim Myung-min and Mr. Hand Towel.

First off, let me say that I did watch several episodes of Dong Yi and found Han Hyo-joo better than expected — not bad at all. Thing is, she wasn’t what I’d call great, either. Powerful enough to win the Grand Prize of the year? Not so much — certainly not over Shin Eun-kyung, who had to settle for a Top Excellence award.

Plus, MBC split all its main awards, which just drives home the message that these things are just given out by the truckload to appease their actors. I mean, we already know that, but didja have to make it so blatant? Also, they created a goofball series of “Character Daesangs” this year, which I suppose is meant to be funny. I suppose given their gloomy year in dramas, they wanted to award their shows for something, even if that something is how much of a loser the main character is. (Seriously, there’s a Loser Award.)

On the red carpet front, things were rather lackluster, both in terms of fashions (kinda frumpy) and the lack of attendees. Perhaps we can attribute the latter to MBC’s serious dearth of good dramas lately — hence the need to dole out awards to the few shows they had that did bring in the ratings. You know it’s a thin year when Alex and Im Seul-ong get acting nominations for new actor — hey, I enjoyed both guys in their respective dramas (Pasta, Personal Taste), but let’s be honest, neither of them were doing much acting.

I notice a few absences, like Sohn Ye-jin (Personal Taste), Kim Hye-soo (Home Sweet Home), and Seo Woo (Flames of Desire), none of whom were nominated for acting awards. (Really, MBC?) Bae Doo-na (Gloria) was nominated, but also didn’t show.

 

Daesang ladies Kim Nam-joo and Han Hyo-joo. Did they coordinate their outfits? Yeah, there was no way they weren’t gonna give Kim Nam-joo the Daesang this year after she lost to Go Hyun-jung last year — it was positively preordained. I even read a report that quoted a rep from MBC saying they’d purposely scheduled Queen of Reversals later in the year to give her a better shot, since Queen of Housewives was so early in the year and had faded in collective memories by the time awards came around.

 
Han Hyo-joo’s beautiful, but that dress…! It’s like she was afraid you’d overlook that hideous bow at her waist — as if! — and made sure to bedazzle the one at her neck to within an inch of its life, just in case. She arrived at the event with her Dong Yi co-star Ji Jin-hee.


 
Ooh, I love the fiery color on Shin Eun-kyung (Flames of Desire). At first I thought it was red, in a nod to her drama, but I do love the fierce hot pink. Congrats, although I think it’s a shame she didn’t win Daesang, even a split one.

 
On paper, it sounds like Park Shi-hoo‘s (Queen of Reversals) curiously mixed ensemble would be bizarre — Harry Potter glasses, shaggy fur coat worn as cape, Victorian cut jacket — but he’s just so cute.

 
Chae Jung-ahn (Queen of Reversals) also frumps it up. I sorta like the casual elegance of her look… worn to a charity bazaar for ladies who lunch, maybe. But a blousy top and wrinkly, pleated long skirt to an awards show? Meh.

 
I LOVE THIS. And do mine eyes deceive me, or does Gong Hyo-jin‘s (Pasta) quirky white number have pockets? Want want want. Even if it’s one step away from being cute Army nurse on her way to the ball. Key word being: cute.

 
But as for her Pasta partner Lee Seon-kyun… I dunno, I love you Mr. Ajusshi, but I think your dishevelment has to be a very particular kind for me to swoon. Please shave that non-stache.

 
Lee Min-ho wasn’t as dynamic in Personal Taste as he was in Boys Before Flowers, but he was very solid, and it netted him an acting prize here. Mmm, Lee Min-ho. (IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.) Even if velvet lapels always make me think bartender/waitstaff, not hottie on his way to the party.

 
I should clarify: My attraction to a permed Kim Hyun-joong (Playful Kiss) does not extend to ALL perms ever. Especially this one. I can’t put my finger on why he looks so awkward here. Is it because the Bae-Yong-joon-ification is not yet complete and we caught him at an in-between moment?

 
Love this girl. Jung So-min (Playful Kiss) didn’t win an award for her role, but she was nominated in the new actress category. I don’t doubt that her day is coming, though — she positively carried the show on her shoulders. Which now seem to be burdened with a weighty plate of glittery stones.

 
Lee Tae-sung‘s New Actor win can be credited to two performances (Playful Kiss, Enjoy Life), the latter of which I didn’t see but the former of which I thought he put a lot of heart into. His suit seems to be trying to pull off too many gimmicks at once, though, with the shiny, textured lapel trim, that lapel pin, the checkered square in his pocket, and the mandarin collar with a black border. Tim Gunn woulda told that designer to edit, edit, edit that hot mess down. Which is why we all need a Tim Gunn in our lives.

 
Lee So-yeon (Dong Yi) and Kim Yong-man acted as hosts for the event. I dig that the swoopy back hides a bit of flash in the back, like a surprise. I always fear picking up an unexpected something in my hoodies, though, like I’ll come home and find a little family of birds has nested in the back while I was out grabbing coffee. Or in Lee So-yeon’s case, an Excellence Award for playing a scheming, villainous concubine.

 
Yoo Seung-ho (Flames of Desire), you are budding hot stuff and I love you for your presence and acting talents… but are you growing a mullet?

 
Jo Yoon-hee (Goldfish) always reminds me of a young Hyori. She’s bright, fresh, and pretty…which is why I wish her dress didn’t look so plain. She’s gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, but it must be the color that washes her out.

 
Which also goes for radio host and MC Hyun Young, who also looks fantastic and yet washed out by the beige.

 
Park Ha-sun played a young queen in Dong Yi, though she looks more princessy here in the light pink gown. She seems to favor pink, but it suits her.

 
Lee Sang-yoon wears his tux nicely as he picks up a win for Home Sweet Home. Well, the tux looks nice as long as you don’t zoom in close and recognize your gramma’s old couch material — the nice one, for when the gentleman callers come by — repurposed into his jacket.

 
New groom- and father-to-be Lee Chun-hee (Gloria) arrives with Chun Bo-geun, who will forever in my mind be curious little Pa-rang (Wish Upon a Star). I do love that the boys are sporting similar expressions in that last photo. A cute big thing + a cute littler version of that thing = always cute. What? It’s practically a law.

 
All in all, a ho-hum end to a ho-hum year. Let’s hope the other station awards are more entertaining.

MBC abused giving out too many awards to co-winners.
They should have given 'Daesang' only to Kim nam-joo.

For me, the best male-dresser was Lee Minho.
Many Korean media voiced the same.

He looked dashingly royal (according to nate) in the unique 'blue & white' look.
I PERSONALLY liked skinny pants which emphasized his 187cm stature and made his legs look endless and
look sexy and dandy at the same time. Edgy!

but his best accessory was his blinding bling bling smile.

He looks like a combination of Won Bin + No Minwoo + Andy Lau when he was younger :)

Check out these pics from the award!

I saw both Kim Hyun-joong and Lee Minho in person.
I like them both. KHJ was very pretty (oops) & beautiful, sometimes chic and cool but very attractive. Mesmerizing.
BUt he looked tired. Wish his quick recovery from perpetual exhaustion. His agency should seriously give this poor dude some holidays!!

As for Lee Minho, OMG, what can i say?
He's inhuman...I mean he's impossibly beautiful and impossibly tall. Saw him from 50 cm away.

Among all the Hollywood stars, HK, taiwanese, Korean stars, models, etc. I've seen, this guy is the most beautiful creature in the world.

It's like 1000 times more beautiful than you see from TV or pics. Photos don't give him justice!!!!!

I do not understand Lee Min Ho fans.

As you can see, no HJK’s fans compare Lee Min Ho’ looks with KHJ’s look ‘cuz KHJ’s fans are very confident with KHJ’s killer looks!!! We know KHJ is just beautiful man!!

Especially, up there “101″ Rachel K..

If you are fan of Lee Min Ho, then just talk about his looks. Okay, girl?
You should have confidence in Lee Min Ho’s looks!

Leave HJK alone!!!

Frankly, I DO NOT believe that you saw both of them!!
So do not go that low girl!!

I have seen HYK more than three times in person and so do not even go there!!!

Unfortunately, no matter what you say.

It DOES NOT the fact that KHJ s hottie and has a killer looks!!!!!!

Frankly, you look pathetic.

Why can't you just cheer your star, LMH alone?

Why do you have to make such negartive remarks towards KHJ?

If LMH is good looking to you, then keep it to yourself.
Do not try to force your thoughts on others!!

What's wrong with you?

All the TV cameramen and CF Directors have selected "KHJ as the most perfect face within the camera frame"

They've also selected "KHJ as the most beautiful face in close up shot"

You can imagine those TV cameramen and CF directors have seen most of male actors including your star, LMH..

So what do you think about that?

As obssesed LMH's fan, you are no longer unbias when
judge who's better looking between LMH and KHJ. You can only see LMH and no one else.

Remember that and please leave Hyun Joong alone.

I said I liked BOTH KHJ and LMH
and
I said both are beautiful.

If I don't like KHJ, why would I wish he'll take good rest and take good care of himself?!
Sheesh!

Fact:
I saw them both in person.
I had not been a fan of LMH before I saw him up close and personal.
Saw LMH twice in Kuala Lumpur when he was visiting the city to promote Etude at the end of Oct. 2009.

Everybody who saw him in person instantly became fans at the spot,
said he looked 1000~1 million times more beautiful than pics
and that photos don't give his looks justice.

I was just saying what I had felt and what others had said.
He was like a walking, talking, smiling statue with a 187 cm stature!

Why should I be blamed for saying how I had felt?

BTW, I don't dig only LMH.
There are at least 10 Korean actors and singers that I like.

My fave is Danniel Henney.
But haven't seen him yet.

Saw KHJ when he also came to KL to promote Faceshop
at the beginning of Dec, 2010.
It was crazy cuz approximately 5000 people showed up!

Some gals suffered from hyperventilation and fainted after waiting for 10 hours!
He was extremely attractive, which made my heart flutter the whole day!
(If you write postings like the above, I might change my mind.)

Everybody said he was uber-gorgeous
but looked very tired.
It was obvious.

I think he had been to other S.E. Asian countries b4 and right after Malaysia, he shot a scene at the airport in Seoul with BYJ for Dream High and then
soon had to fly to Japan for some charity event with his boss.
Killer schedule!

Many people (including reporters) thought he seriously needed a rest.

Don't dare to tell me about both actors...if you haven't seen them both!

oh poor! why they have to give the Daesang Award only to Kim Nam joo? Han Hyo Joo played great in Dong Yi. she did the best among the best.... and in fact she had received a lot of awards.... maybe you said that because you can't relate with her acting in Dong Yi....

you're right, han hyo joo is pretty, but that dress should be worn by grandmothers not a beautiful talented actress.. she should sue her stylist! and jung so min dress is just so wrong! she's petite.. wearing all that isn't flattering for her body! and what's up with all that pale and beige color?? are they trying to become invincible? you should let people see you honey.. try another color next time..

KHJ was the king of the hottie that night!!!!!

He was just DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!!
Who can even dare compete with his flawless look!!
He is simply too good to be true!!!

I see this paticular article is "totally -biased" against KHJ. The writer probably do not like him. It just shows!!

If u gonna write about an article, u have to write matters based on fair and factrual events!!

U know what? BYJ had never had that hair dude and HJK had this hair dude many times way before he joined HYJ's agancy. Okay?
Plz, get it right!!

Anyway, to make long story short, HJK has killer looks that no one can even complete!!! heheheheh...

There're too many handsome n kewl dudes in Korea!
They are all very good-looking and beautiful in their different, unique ways.^^

My eyes were pleased to see so many handsome guys at 2010 MBC Drama Award.^^
BUt felt unlike KBS Drama Award, it gave too many co-awards.
What's up with giving 2 "Daesang" (Grand Award)???

Hope they'll not do that in 2011!

Actually Han Hyo Joo is the lead of DAESANG, and why it goes shared, with Kim nam joo? i really disagree!!!

cause Great acting of Han Hyo Joo, DONG YI always got 1st rating and always being the TOP 2010 drama in Korea and Abroad. so MBC really loves her :)

and how about Queen of Reversals ratings in korea? aigoo...!!! you must check QOR rating before you, compare QOR with DONG YI :P

kim nam joo is a good actress too, but I feel it's sort of wrong to compare her to Han Hyo Joo when Hyo Joo has so many numerous talents...

MBC Daesang Awards OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE HAN HYO JOO!!!! I absolutely adore her.. she is such a beautiful and multi-talented actress.

Please author your article is not sportif. haha really bad!!!
